What Is Adaptive Authentication?
Hypr, Tuesday, August 22,2023
Authentication security remains a significant vulnerability in most organizations' security posture. Even individuals without technical expertise can easily acquire and employ pre-made hacking tools. Microsoft, for instance, fends off an astonishing 1,000 authentication attacks a second.
Furthermore, the dark web is flooded with over 24 billion username and password pairs available for purchase, perpetuating the constant onslaught of these malicious activities. Security systems have incorporated measures like multi-factor authentication (MFA) to deter attackers. However, several MFA methods, including push notifications and one-time passwords (OTPs), are easy to circumvent. Adaptive authentication is a promising advancement to enhance authentication protocols, leveraging diverse parameters to conduct a risk-based evaluation of authentication requirements.
In this blog, we'll delve into adaptive authentication, exploring how it is deployed and how it can enhance your authentication security.
